Joshua Goldberg
I have created machine learning models to optimize sales and marketing tasks with potential impact total $1 million sales annually at a financial institution; I have also built models to detect risky behavior of millions of sellers on Amazon. Outside of work, I enjoy distance running and I like to develop/implement algorithms in C++.
